I had a "Wow" moment yesterday. I was looking at my collection of videos on YouTube and wondering how I could augment them with new material I have created, helped to create or performed in - my mind was instantly taken back to 1984 when I lived in Chobham, Surrey. My parents were friendly with our next-door-but-one neighbours - Carol was a makeup artist and Nick was a television director who had worked with Thames TV. One day, Nick asked me to perform in The Sooty Show - as the son of the comic foil Rory Mcgrath (whilst dressed in a frogman's suit). The results are here: (you only have to watch the first 4 minutes....). Enjoy!
I was paid £25 in WH Smith vouchers. I bought a few games for my ZX Spectrum and a QuickShot II joystick.
